This boat trip takes you to the outlet of Ilulissat Ice Fjord where the gigantic icebergs are grounded. On the trip you can enjoy the spectacle of these colossi in all their fantastic forms and colours and the guide will talk about glaciers and icebergs. There should also be a good chance of spotting some seals as they pop their heads out of the water to draw breath and look around them inquisitively.

This trip passes through the ice-filled Disko Bay 15 km to the north to Oqaatsut where we go a shore. We have a couple of hours to explore the village which has a population of 70, who all live by trapping and fishing.
At Oqaatsut we can enjoy a Greenlandic "coffee-mik", where the local women's association will make coffee, tea and cakes for the visitors (this costs slightly more - see price list). We have a good chance of spotting seals on route.
